    They say God put them there to test us (that doesn't mean we can't use them).

    Well, Noah was 500 years old when he started the Ark. He died when he was 900. These days, we would call him a dinosaur.

    Creationism is just some Christians. Here's a weird quandary. If the Earth was created in seven days, what days are they going by? Before Earth was created, there would have been no Earth day to scale buy.

    No, it was written long after they were gone, and before they're existence would have been noted.

    And before science figured out how to interpret fossils.

    Based on my observations from watching the "Beverly Hillbillies", I do not think most barely educated conservatives from the bible-thumping south are aware that "Texas Tea" actually comes from the decomposition of prehistoric plants.
    "Fossil fuels" is also a word sophisticated people use, and I do not actually recall Jed, Ellie May, Jethro, or Daisy ever using that term.

    Actually, coal comes from plants. Oil is typically thought to originate from animals (microorganisms). There is some debate on oil, however.

    I simplified for informal purposes, because using the terminology phytoplankton just wouldn't cut the mustard for the purposes of the post.

    This is what I learned and was told. Totally simplified, because the organic chemistry can be complex and there might be some evidence of abiogenic or inorganic origins of oil, although that is a fringe hteory.

    Oil comes from plankton -- marine zooplankton (microscopic animals) and marine phytoplankton (aka, marine plants)
    Natural gas comes from terrestrial plant material.
    Coal comes from terrestrial plants located in swamps.
